Editor’s Note

Last updated 31 Oct 2026

Our take: Kemuri BBQ, tucked away in a quiet mall in Novena, consistently earns high praise for its smoked meats and friendly service.

We see a strong consensus around the tenderness of the beef cheek and the overall quality of the Texas Tres Combo, which some reviewers note can feed up to four small eaters despite being listed for 2-3 pax.

The picanha, brisket, and dino ribs also receive positive mentions for their execution.

Beyond the meats, the sides like fried okra, brussels sprouts, and fried squid are highlighted as unique and addictive.

Desserts such as the cornbread with hojicha ice cream and banana bread pudding are also popular.

While the atmosphere is described as clean, its corridor location is a minor point of contention for some.

We think Kemuri BBQ is a strong contender for those seeking well-executed smoked meats and unique sides in a welcoming environment.

Best for groups looking to share a platter, and worth visiting during off-peak hours to secure a table easily.

What customers say

Kemuri BBQ receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its tender smoked meats, particularly the beef cheek and brisket, and unique sides like fried okra and addictive brussel sprouts.

Customers frequently praise the friendly and welcoming staff, even during off-peak or near-closing hours.

While food quality is consistently high, some note that portions could be larger for certain dishes, and the corridor atmosphere is a minor detractor.
